How many times have you just been flabbergasted to who wins a good debate. It seems as if the Challengee primarily wins even with a lackluster argument. Im tired of spending my time and research to make for a good debate with concrete facts and hard evidence. For some worm who probably doesnt even understand what is being debated and argued. I take this very serious and so should you.

We as Fannation need to figure out how to stop this. I have a solution to all of our problems. "Parental Control" just like at the movies. Check this out. fnc-18 (means) adults only over 18, or maybe if there is a challenge catagory for fnc-18. For everyone entertainment and to pad your states what about fnc-13(general)   These 2 catagory's could solve alot of our worries. I know its not going to completely fix this problem but its a start. Everyone who signs up needs to have an application filled out and signed making them viable for there comments and credibility. Let me know your ideas Fannation so I can see about getting some of these changes implemented. Thanks for your support

I dont know dude. That is pretty drastic and might not work. I love the desire to fix sh-t that goes on in this site.

I'm younger than 18 but i can debate with the best of them I believe...

Let me say I do not beleive that everyone under 18 is incompetent to sports and the history behind it. I dont know everything, but everyone needs to display or(prove) that they have sports knowledge to an extent. IT Takes effort to research and debate how much effort is spent choosing the right winner(usually not much)

what about voter screening before you vote, Kind of like a box that appears and you have to give a comment to why you choose that challenger or challengee.

I think that an application or a comment box before voting is asking for alot of review from the moderators on the site. They've added a few features (play by play, report TD violation, etc) that will help them to weed out the weirdos. They actually have acted very fast since these features were added.

I don't TD, but I do read the valid ones daily. I am amazed at the research and knowledge of some of the members here. I just think that everyone can do their part by either letting the ninja's get rid of the TD or by simply leaving it open so that it will eventually die (or until they create another user and debate themselves, in which case "report TD violation" will work too). If they get no takers, they'll eventually leave. And if a valid TD is started and an idiot takes it, again, use the TD violation feature and it will get deleted as if it never started and you can try again with (hopefully) a worthy opponent.

The report td violation does not work is is not fullproof, with an Box at voters selection that would make everyone who votes accoutable at least with a comment. Even if they make something up they still left a comment explaining

That may work...but most likely it will not. I know A LOT of people on here under 18 who are great, and there are some OVER 18 who are not so great. Age is irrelevant (most of the time) in throwdowns.

What I hate is people quoting what they heard on TV instead of researching or thinking up thought of their own.
